Rowan, and if he does not enter the field
for the nomination, he at least will he ac-
corded most hearty support from this
section. Rowan has always been most
popular Democrat, and his uniform cour-
tesy and conscientiOusness in the dis
charge of his arduous duties of Speaker,

has wonderfully increased that popularity,

Caldwell is strong in some sections here
for denomination to the Attorney Gen
eralship. but ! am assured that with her

a candidate again. While the information
comes from tolerably reliable source, |
am ias,ined To think it mistake. The
solid element of the district all speak
favorably and in some instances enthusi-
astically of the chances for election of John
ID. Anderson. / do not know whether or
not Anderson has aspirations, but this
much is apparent TO every observing Dem
ocrat, if he has, he will make things lively
for nomination, and with his record, abili-

much better than many of those who are

In looking over Hening's Statutes (Vir-

sembly in 1877 worked on some of the
issues brought up before our late Leisla-

'LXVIII. Ifa prisoner desire any wit
nesSes TO be summoned for him or her,

tending, shall have the like allowance for
travelling and attendance, and he subject
to the same penalty for failing to attend,
as is provided for witnesses in civil cases. "
We are then informed by section NNlN
that if witness fail to attend they (the
District Court shall fine such person five
pounds or one thousand pounds of tobacco
at the option of the payer, to the use OF
the party for whom such witness was sum-
moned. Thus it appears that statesmen
before Toler's time were interested in the
payment of witness fees. find, by the
way some interesting and really aStonish-

statute books, extending as they do from
the first legislative session in Virginia in
the year 1919. Rewards for Indian scalps,
penalties of mailing person by the ears to
apOst for two hours, witchcraft enactments,
and other laws which we would now term
atrocities or ahsurdities. Some day will
send an exclusive letter on this subject and
know it will be interesting.

KINGSTON, ONT, May 12-This city is
called the Derry of Canada. Just now it is
full OF determined Orangemen.
They are waiting to hear officially that
O'Brien is coming and they will flood the
town with his opponents.
In letter to the Journal, James Mar
shall, prominent Loyalist, hopes that
those who desire the peace of the city will
see that O'Brien is kept away. Lord
Lansdowne, representative of her Gracious
Majesty, Mr.. Marshall says, cannot defend
himself at al, but if the Government will
not do it there is loyalty enough in Canada
to protect him and his noble lady. Mr.
Marshall counsels those parties who would
bring Mr.. O'Brien to the city to beware in
time. 1--WE want to live in peace he
says, "but peace with honor
Mr. Marshall also says that all Orange
men in this section have been notified to be
in readiness, and that by a simple message
he can fill the town, and will, at all haz-
ards, prevent O'Brien from making an
address. Mr.. O'Brien is billed for the
10th inst.

Treasurer claims that the person who
rented the hall did not state for what OBJ
iect it was wanted, and he will consult the
aldermen rs to returning the fee paid. 1t
is considered that the use of the hall will

The local branch OF the Irish National

subscribed.

courtesy and fair play he had received up
to the present time. He believed that II
good many preiudices and misunderstand
ing which had arisen with refer

fidence that the more the subject was
thrashed out, the more severly every
human and liberty-loving man in Canada

that this visit was the only means left to
